Image taken from: Geometry. McDougal Littell: Boston, P Theorem If a tangent and a chord intersect at a point on a circle, then the measure of each angle formed is one half the measure of its intercepted arc.
Ex.1: Line m is tangent to the circle. Find x or y. Answer: a. 114; b. 236 Image taken from: Geometry. McDougal Littell: Boston, P. 681.
Intersecting Lines and Circles If two lines intersect a circle, there are three places where the lines can intersect.
Image taken from: Geometry. McDougal Littell: Boston, P Theorem 10.13: Angles Inside the Circle Theorem If two chords intersect inside a circle, then the measure of each angle is one half the sum of the measures of the arcs intercepted by the angle and its vertical angle.
Image taken from: Geometry. McDougal Littell: Boston, P Theorem Angles Outside the Circle Theorem If a tangent and a secant, two tangents, or two secants intersect outside a circle, then the measure of the angle formed is one half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.
